One Guard

"I can only say that this kind of defense is something I have never seen at any moment in my career."

This sentence Lillard said in an interview with reporters after the game became a classic quoted by the major media the next day. In the future, if someone asks what level of Yiyang's defense is? Then, you can give Lillard's words to him as they are.

Damien Lillard, an attacking guard who averaged nearly 20 points per game, was restricted by Yiyang and nearly collapsed. This game undoubtedly refreshed Lillard's understanding of the term "defense". It also allows fans all over the world to see the reason why Yiyang was selected as the best defensive team last year.

But, Lillard has always been a man who has seen the world. He had experienced things like getting a gun against his forehead in the past, and being blown up by Yiyang, Lillard was relieved in only one night.

Early the next morning, Lillard also congratulated Yiyang and the Mavericks on his Twitter account for breaking the team history record of 17 consecutive victories. Later, he posted another photo of himself working in a recording studio.

"About Yi's new song is being recorded!"

Lillard did not break his promise. He lost to Yiyang, so he would write a song dedicated to Yiyang and put it on his album.

Yiyang himself is also a lover of rap music, and he is very looking forward to this song about himself. Without hesitation, Yiyang pre-ordered Lillard's album online and posted the purchase information on his social media to show his support for Lillard.

Last night, Yiyang and Lillard were extremely jealous opponents. But one night later, they became good friends with "smelly similar".

The two guys are really alike, they are very clear about the game and life. The hostility in the game does not necessarily have to be brought into life.

And it is under the background of the Trail Blazers that the Mavericks' 18-game winning streak is also exceptionally great. After all, this year's Trail Blazers are an out-and-out strong team!

"18 consecutive victories, 36 wins and 4 losses. Do you know what this record is? The Milwaukee Bucks, who were eighth in the Eastern Conference last season, won only 38 games in a single season. However, now, the regular season Not halfway through, the Mavericks have almost done what others would take an entire season to do."

"36 wins is a very amazing number. We all know that the Mavericks' regular season record has always been good. So, I am not thinking about 60 wins, but whether they can break the 70 wins mark!"

"Being able to beat the powerful Trail Blazers for 18 consecutive victories is enough to prove that the Mavericks are not the underdog killer. You ask me how long their winning streak can last? Let me tell you this, even if it also broke the 27th created by the Heat. I won’t be surprised by the winning streak!"

For a time, Yiyang and the Mavericks had 18 consecutive victories and broke the news of team history, which became popular all over the world.

Although the 18-game winning streak is still incomparable with the previous few streaks in NBA history, it sounds like a very bluffing number. What's more, no one knows how much Yiyang and his Mavericks will make the 18-game winning streak continue to rise. Maybe it will be as exaggerated as the previous records in history?

One day after the victory over the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks flew back to back to Phoenix to face the Phoenix Suns, the biggest "poop-cutter" in the West this season.

How good is the record of the Suns this season? It's good, but it's not good. They have been hovering on the edge of the playoffs, but they have never really entered the playoffs. But one thing the Suns have done very well is that they will always mess up the Western Conference rankings.

It is very likely that they have just defeated the strong team, but inexplicably "send warmth" to the weak team the next day. It is precisely with the presence of the sun that the ranking of the West will always be unpredictable.

Therefore, although the ranking gap between the two sides is huge, people still very much hope that Phoenix's "shocking stick" can drag the league first.

For one thing, the Suns themselves are not weak. Secondly, the Mavericks are playing back-to-back away games, and they just broke the record. It is inevitable that they will be a little lax and tired.

All favorable conditions point to the sun, which allowed them to take over the title of "Winning Streak Terminator" from the media.

But with Bledsoe missing due to injury, the Suns simply don't have a point where they can attack the Mavericks' penalty area. A group of guys are shooting outside the three-point line, how can they ever shoot the Mavericks' outside trident, which is known for its defensive line?

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Suns back to back in Phoenix. The Suns only shot 35% from the field, which is lower than the Mavericks' three-pointers. In this state, there is naturally no way to end the losing streak.

Yiyang had 33 points and 8 assists. In the last game, he let Lillard experience what is called death entanglement. Today, he let Slovenian defender Dragic know what is called extreme offense.

37 wins and 4 losses, 19 consecutive victories. At this point, the Mavericks have officially surpassed the legendary Bulls in the 95-96 season, and tied for the sixth position with the unparalleled Los Angeles Lakers in 2000 for the longest winning streak in the league!

How strong were the Lakers in 2000? That's when the "OK" combination is rampant all over the world. It is undoubtedly a very remarkable thing that the current Mavericks can do the same things as the Lakers back then.

But any team that can squeeze into the top ten of the NBA's winning streak is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

After a day off, on January 20, the Mavericks continued their road trip. This time, they came to Cleveland, which belongs to the Eastern Conference, where they will fight the Cavaliers.

The No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett selected by the Cavaliers last summer has become the biggest joke in the history of the NBA draft. Kwame Brown, the former "NBA's top champion", has shown some talent in the league anyway. Facts have proved that he can survive in the NBA, but he is far from the status of the "top champion".

But Bennett, judging from the qualities he showed this season, let alone grow into a superstar, he doesn't even have the ability to survive in the league.

Therefore, the Cavaliers continue to paddle this season, and Irving is undoubtedly still the biggest star of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Although the Cavaliers can only rank bottom in the Eastern Conference this season, the media still think the Mavericks will capsize in Cleveland.

Teams with a lot of winning streaks are prone to overturning on weak teams, which is almost like a curse that plagues everyone. Moreover, Owen once completed a lore on Yiyang, and that lore can be blown by the Cleveland media for a lifetime.

But after the game started, the confidence of the Cleveland media disappeared instantly.

Yiyang's desperate defense reappeared on the young Owen. Owen's performance today was better than Lillard, and he still scored a team-high 26 points. But for this reason, he made 27 crazy shots in the whole game, 7 more shots than Yiyang, who scored 33 points.

With a 35% shooting percentage, this obviously does not allow him to help the Cavaliers win. In fact, the "stingy" Yiyang will remember Owen's lore for a lifetime. Therefore, Yiyang worked hard every time he played Irving.

109 to 97, the Mavericks evened the Cavaliers' charge, winning 20 straight! This makes the Mavericks and the 1971 Bucks tied for the fifth position in the NBA's longest winning streak!

"From breaking the 17-game winning streak to breaking into the top five in history, the myth of the Mavericks continues! I still have that problem, who can stop it!?" After the game, Chris Webber was at the Cleveland Quicken Loans Center Arena. This question chanted on the commentary stage has become the hottest topic in the entire league!

Who can stop it? Everyone has different opinions. Some people say that only the Heat can cure the Mavericks. It is also said that the pressure of a huge winning streak will make the Mavericks crush themselves. But no matter how powerful the experts are, they can't give an accurate figure.

The pressure of public opinion all over the world is on the Mavericks. Ordinary people may not be able to bear it, but the Mavericks are not ordinary at all.

※※※

It was extremely cold in Toronto on January 21. The white snow covered the whole city like a quilt. This winter, there was an extreme low temperature in Toronto. When the Mavericks players landed, the temperature even reached minus 20 degrees Celsius!

After getting off the plane, Yiyang felt the malice from the cold temperature. Accustomed to the mild climate in Texas, coming to Toronto in the big winter is really uncomfortable.

"Hey, I just got off the plane. Yes, Toronto is freezing to death, colder than Milan! When I return to the hotel where I am staying, I will call you again!" Outside the airport, Yiyang found a corner with no one to Wen Wen Xue and Vignali called and reported that they were safe.

In just a few minutes of making a phone call, Yiyang's hands were already flushed with cold. After hanging up the phone, Yiyang hurriedly breathed a few warm breaths into his palms, only to regain some consciousness in his hands.

Without staying outside, Yiyang hurriedly got on the team bus. As soon as I got on the bus, there was a heavy snowfall outside. Fortunately, they arrived early. If the snow is heavy, even the flight may be delayed.

"What's the matter? I don't think you are right?" Nowitzki asked with concern as Yiyang completely shrank himself into a "ball." The air conditioner on the bus has just been turned on and has not yet reached the proper temperature. At this time, the temperature in the car was still very low, so Yiyang was still surrounded by the cold.

"I...I'm more afraid of the cold." Yiyang's voice is trembling now. This guy has lived in southern China since he was a child. After he came to the United States, he has been living in a sunny place like California. Even after entering the NBA and moving to Texas, the temperature in Texas is very pleasant.

Although Toronto is very cold, the average low temperature in January is only 6 degrees below zero. If it was six degrees below zero, Yiyang would definitely not feel anything. But suddenly throwing him to a place of minus 20 degrees, I haven't seen such a low temperature of Yiyang since I was a child, and naturally I can't bear it.

The extreme low temperature in Toronto this year did come at some wrong time.

Fortunately, under the action of the air conditioner, the temperature inside the car rose rapidly, even making Yiyang feel a little hot.

Everyone took off their heavy coats, but Yiyang, who was afraid of the cold, still put it on them. After the 40-minute drive, Yiyang even sweated.

After arriving at the hotel, Yiyang trembled as soon as he stepped out of the bus door!

The cold wind of minus 20 degrees blows the drops of sweat on the forehead, and it is really cool, and the heart is flying!

"Rudy, you remember to take out the luggage for me, I'll go to the lobby and wait for you." After Yiyang explained Gobert, he trot directly into the hotel door.

When he walked in the door, he felt his ears were almost frozen. The high temperature of the air conditioner in the hotel caused Yiyang to sweat instantly.

After resting in the hotel for a while, the Mavericks have to go to the training ground of the Air Canada Center Arena to complete the afternoon training.

Therefore, Yiyang spent the whole day in a continuous cycle of cold and hot.

In the evening ~www.novelmtl.com~ the Mavericks players all proposed to go out to taste the food in Toronto, and warm up by the way. Carlisle won't interfere much with the players going out for a meal. As long as you don’t drink or play around, you can talk about everything.

However, Yiyang refused the invitation of his teammates and lay weakly on the bed.

"Go eat, Rudy, tell them I'm a little tired and want to sleep for a while." Yiyang waved his hand at Gobert, then lay down and closed his eyes.

"you sure?"

Yiyang didn't answer directly this time, but waved to Gobert again.

Gobert didn't think much about it. Yiyang has indeed been very hard these past few days, and exhaustion is normal. So he left Yiyang alone in the room and went to enjoy Canadian food with his teammates.

Three hours later, a bunch of strong men returned to the hotel talking and laughing. Gobert was carrying a bag in which he packed the bridge rice noodles for Yiyang. Toronto has the largest Chinese ethnic group outside of Asia, so there are many Chinese restaurants here. Many famous local restaurants, even most of them are opened by Chinese descent. Therefore, it is not difficult for Gobert to find a place to buy Chinese food for Yiyang.

He swiped the door of his and Yiyang room with his card, and Gobert, who was holding the noodle across the bridge, was stunned at the door.

"What's the matter Rudy?" Seeing Gobert's unusual reaction, Nowitzki walked up suspiciously.

I don’t know. Nowitzki was taken aback when he looked at Yiyang and Gobert’s room.

I saw that all three trash cans in the room were full of paper balls. Many paper **** have been filled out of the trash can, falling to the ground everywhere.

A man alone in the room with so many small **** of paper can only explain one thing!

No no no, don't think about it crooked. Yiyang didn't do anything to allow people to enter the "kidney time".

This guy should have a bad cold.
